How to use

Installation should be performed by a qualified individual or someone familiar with low-voltage electrical wiring. Begin by ensuring the Ethernet cable is properly stripped and the individual wires are terminated according to the T568A or T568B wiring standard. Secure the wires into the internal terminals of the socket, ensuring a firm connection. Once terminated, mount the socket housing into a standard wall box and attach the faceplate. Test the connection using a network cable tester to verify signal continuity before finalizing the installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing network cabling matches the Category 5e specification.
• Ensure you have a compatible wall box installed for mounting.
• Check if the glossy white finish matches your existing electrical switches and sockets.

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, ensure that the Ethernet cable is not bent at sharp angles during installation and keep data cables away from high-voltage electrical lines to prevent electromagnetic interference.
